"The Voting Rights Act has transformed American politics and we are on a good trajectory."

"What was struck down was Section 4, which is the formula that decides which States, which counties, which cities are included in Section 5."

"Section 5 has been very meaningful and has meant a lot to the political progress the minority groups have made across the country."
